### Detailed Explanation of My Boot Disk (The above one is just a brief description)
1 - DOS Animated Startup Logo
===============================================
It is modified from the Windows boot screen I made myself, including the DOS startup logo and the animated scroll bar at the bottom. In this way, DOS also has its own startup logo screen!
2 - Multi-configuration startup menu
====================================================
When this MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk starts, there will be six options. The first option is to start in EMM386 mode, the second option is to start in UMBPCI mode, and the third and fourth options respectively add support for NTFS and USB drives on this basis. Because EMM386 may not work normally on a very small number of computers, and the main problem with UMBPCI is that it does not support some motherboards, so users are allowed to choose between EMM386 and UMBPCI when starting. In this way, users can better use this boot disk to start the computer. The fifth item in the startup menu is used to directly view this help file, and the system will automatically load the Chinese character system to support Chinese display. And selecting the sixth item (that is, the last item) in the startup menu can automatically shut down or restart the computer. In addition, users can also select whether to automatically load programs such as PC-CACHE, SMARTDRV, Volkov Commander, etc. according to the menu prompts that appear on the system when starting, using the keyboard or mouse.
3 - Full Long File Name support
===============================================================
The DOSLFN long file name driver is used, so that this DOS boot disk can fully support and use long file names as soon as it starts, including Chinese long file names, just like in the DOS window of Win9x. In addition to the internal commands of DOS, many other DOS programs, such as Volkov Commander 4.99, can then use long file names in pure DOS.
4 - Full FAT12/16/32 support
==========================================================
MS-DOS 7.10 natively provides perfect support for FAT12/16/32 partitions, so the boot disk inherits this function. And the above-mentioned long file name driver enables the support of VFAT (Virtual FAT).
5 - NTFS Drives support
========================================
By using the NTFS driver NTFSDOS, this boot disk can fully support NTFS drives, including long file names on NTFS partitions. When the third or fourth item is selected in the startup menu, the system will automatically load the NTFSDOS driver to support NTFS drives. It is also possible to manually load it at the command line, that is, execute NTFSDOS or NTFSDOS /U (/U means to enable Unicode support).
6 - USB Drives support
======================================
When the third or fourth item is selected in the startup menu, the system will automatically load USB drivers such as DUSE, Motto Hairu, etc. when starting to provide support for USB drives. It supports many USB interfaces (including OHCI, UHCI and even EHCI interfaces) and types of USB drives, such as most USB hard drives, USB optical drives, USB floppy drives, USB flash drives (such as USB flash drives), USB ZIP drives, etc. For some computers, sometimes you can manually set the parameters of the drive to better support your USB drive. Or you can manually load these drivers at the command line using commands such as DEVICE, ADDEV, for example, execute ADDEV DUSE.EXE DRIVES=2.
7 - Large Hard Disk support
========================================
In addition to supporting standard hard disks, it also supports very large hard disks (over 100G), including LBA and Int13X extended partitions. Similarly, the various tools provided in this boot disk (such as SPFDISK, Free FDISK, etc.) also support large hard disks, so there is no need to worry that this boot disk cannot recognize or operate your large-capacity hard disk.
8 - Large Memory support
=====================================
It supports large memory up to 4GB, and provides XMS and UMB memory to maximize the function of the computer. And tools such as XMSDSK can also effectively use these memories, such as creating memory virtual disks, disk buffers, etc.
9 - Full CD/DVD Drives support
=============================================
By using the best universal optical drive drivers (such as VIDE-CDD.SYS and USBCD.SYS, etc.), it supports various IDE/ATAPI and most SCSI/ASPI and even USB optical drives, and has fast speed and low memory usage. You can also use the FINDCD program自带 in the boot disk to display the installed optical drive drive letters and set them to environment variables. For example, FINDCD /S can display and set all current optical drive drive letters.
10 - RAM Drives support
====================================
By using the best memory virtual disk tool XMSDSK, a 4M memory disk is automatically provided, and some necessary or commonly used tools (such as FORMAT, MEM, Volkov Commander, etc.) are automatically decompressed and copied to it. This memory disk is not only very convenient to use, but also the size of it can be arbitrarily modified at the command line through the XMSDSK command.
11 - Chinese support
===============================
The Chinese support of this boot disk is reflected in many aspects. First, the long file name driver DOSLFN uses code page 936 (Simplified Chinese) to fully support Chinese long file names; second, it comes with the small and portable XZL Chinese character system. After starting it, it can fully support the display of Chinese characters (including Chinese long file names) under DOS. At the same time, this instruction file is also in Chinese, so you can directly use commands such as MORE, EDIT, etc. at the command line to view its content after starting the Chinese character system, or you can directly select the fifth item in the startup menu when booting to automatically open this file for viewing.
12 - Full mouse support
========================================
By using the best mouse driver CuteMouse 1.9, it supports various serial port and PS/2 mice, etc., and has very fast speed and low memory usage; the universal MouseClip program is used, so that the mouse can be easily used under the DOS command line, and it supports copy/paste and the function of simulating arrow keys.
13 - High free conventional memory
===================================================
After starting the system with this boot disk, although many practical functions are loaded, the free conventional memory is usually still as high as 625K-630K (select the first or second item when starting), and the free UMB memory is usually also dozens of K. In this way, when you start it and run any program, there will be no memory shortage prompt, because there is still a large amount of free memory available.
14 - High stability of system
==============================================
This boot disk comes with KILLER and ESCAPE programs, which greatly enhance the stability of the system:
KILLER: It can automatically intercept incorrect specifications in running programs and return to DOS to prevent system instability or死机;
ESCAPE: You can press the F12 key to return to DOS in any case to prevent the system from crashing. It can be seen that KILLER and ESCAPE are complementary. The former is active by the system, and the latter is active by the user, so as to maximize the stability of the system.
15 - Function of system maintenance
==================================================
In addition to coming with common DOS disk tools such as CHKDSK, FORMAT, FDISK, etc., the boot disk also has many practical system maintenance tools such as BOOTPART, SRC Tools, SPFDISK, etc.
BOOTPART is a command line startup partition manager with very powerful functions; SRC Tools can save/restore/check->disk boot sector/MBR/FAT to well maintain the system and disk; SPFDISK is a famous open source startup manager + partition manager.
REGEDIT is a Windows registry maintenance tool, which can perform various operations such as importing and exporting the registry.
16 - Full support for archives
===============================================
The boot disk comes with practical archive extraction tools such as PKUNZIP 2.50, UNARJ, EXTRACT, UNDISK, etc., and most of them support long file names. Therefore, this boot disk supports various common formats of archives and disk images such as ZIP, ARJ, CAB, IMG, etc., which greatly facilitates use.
17 - Graphics File Manager included
========================================================
The boot disk comes with the Volkov Commander (VC) file manager, a very powerful, practical and famous file management tool, with a graphical interface operation and fully supports long file names. After the system starts, it will automatically prompt whether to start VC, that is, the following information is displayed:
Press ENTER in 2 seconds if you want to start Volkov Commander..
At this time, if you press the Enter key within 2 seconds, VC 4.99 will be automatically started; otherwise, it will not be automatically started, but it can be manually started at any time later at the command line using the VC command.
18 - Able to launch Windows 3.x/9x directly
========================================================================
This MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk provides the function of directly starting Windows, including versions such as Win3.x, Win9x, etc., and is closely integrated with Windows. The specific method is to enter the WIN command at the DOS command line to start the corresponding version of Windows. (Note: It has been enhanced to cooperate highly with Windows by using the 3xStart program). And as described in the above characteristics, this MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk fully supports long file names, FAT32 partitions, large hard disks and other functions, so there will be no incompatibility with Windows.
Note: If you use a floppy disk to boot this boot disk, please make sure that the floppy disk is in the floppy drive when starting Windows. To enter the Windows 9x interface, please first enter the folder where Windows is located, and then run the WIN command.
19 - High compatibility and optimized for general use
========================================================================
This MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk has fully considered the issues of compatibility and generality from the beginning of production, and various optimized configurations have been carried out according to this requirement. Therefore, it not only has many functions and is powerful and practical, but also has very strong compatibility and generality. After starting it with it, you can run various DOS programs (if any), including Windows installation programs, etc. And through various configurations, as long as the system requirements listed below are met, it should be able to work normally on various different computers.
20 - Many useful tools
=======================================
This boot disk contains many very practical tools, such as UMBPCI, PERUSE, CWSDPMI, PC-CACHE, etc., which can provide various functions such as DPMI services, disk buffering, music playback, image viewing, screen display control, etc. Please refer to the file list below and their own instruction files for details.
